Check out the totally mad vocals. Someone's belting it out, and it ain't Donna! Out of a killer Dark Star.

A long deep ride: Inter-stellar collectivity with deep-space weirdness after 1st chorus.

Beautiful ensemble playing. Jerry and Donna harmonise nicely.

The boys push behind Bobby like the posse chasing the narrator of the song. You can hear the hoofbeats. Excellent.

Soaring. Jerry and Phil in collective consciousness. My version is marred by a rough AUD patch though.

The new mixes by Charlie Miller make this previously underrated show a great pleasure. This NFBM jam simmers and bubbles, crackling with energy. So nice to revisit this show with a new sound.

You're a bunch of loons. This one sucks. Real heads know that the best ever was at the free show at Sprekels Bandshell in Golden Gate Park back in '67. I know because I had it on a Maxell 46min cassette that I traded away for a ride up to Buffalo back in '74.

Swirling and swimmingly intricate and exploratory. Never gets dull, but cruises along at high speed into two very interesting, musically challenging Supplication transitions.

Tight and right. Great harp solo, and of course Pig's voice is perfect.

Nice biting tone and electrified feel to the CC, reminding that the early Dead were a combination of sweet country cowboy poetry, and dangerous hard acid rock. The IKYR also plays in this open place. Nice version, and thanks for DP35! What a treat of a show.
